What scale factor was used in going from the grey triangle to the yellow triangle?

Mathematics

s344n2d4d5 [400]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The scale factor used was 2

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure with letters to better understand the problem

we know that

A dilation is a non-rigid transformation that produce similar figures

If two figures are similar then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and this ratio is called the scale factor

In this problem the dilation going from the grey triangle to the yellow triangle is an enlargement and its equal to the quotient length side AC by length side DE (corresponding sides)

we have

AC=\left|4-(-8)\right|=12\ units --->absolute value of the difference of the x-coordinates

DE=\left|2-(-4)\right|=6\ units --->absolute value of the difference of the x-coordinates

\frac{AC}{DE}=\frac{12}{6}=2

therefore

The scale factor used was 2

Answer:

x =15

Step-by-step explanation:

In \odot D, AB and AC are chords which are equidistant from the center of the circle.

\therefore Chord \: AB \cong Chord\: AC

\therefore m \widehat {AB} = m\widehat {AC}

(Equal chords intercept equal arcs)

\because m \widehat {AB} = (10x-23)\degree

\therefore m \widehat {AC} = (10x-23)\degree

m \widehat {AB} +m \widehat {AC} +106\degree = 360\degree

(Arc sum postulate of a circle)

(10x-23)\degree + (10x-23)\degree= 360\degree- 106\degree

2(10x-23)\degree = 254\degree

(10x-23)\degree = 127\degree

10x-23 = 127

10x = 127+23

10x = 150

x = \frac {150}{10}

x =15

shtirl [24]

Answer:

B y = -1/2x + 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that it has a negative slope since the points go from the top left to the bottom right

We can eliminate A and D

The y intercept is where it crosses the y axis

It should cross somewhere between 2 and 4

C  has a y intercept of 9 which is too big

Lets verify with a point

x = -4

y = -4(-4)+9 = 16+9 = 25  (-4,25)  not even close to being near the points on the graph

checking B

y = -1/2 (-4) +7/2

  = 2 + 7/2 = 11/2 = 5.5  it seems  reasonable
